What is PMB 120

PMB 120 is a polymer modified bitumen enhanced with styrenic block copolymers, typically styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). The polymer modification creates a three-dimensional elastic network within the bitumen matrix, significantly improving its mechanical properties and performance characteristics compared to conventional bitumen.

The designation 120 refers to the minimum elastic recovery at 25 degrees Celsius, measured as 80% or higher according to EN 13399 and ASTM D5974 standards. This high elastic recovery indicates superior flexibility and crack resistance, particularly important in regions with significant temperature variations.

PMB 120 delivers enhanced resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) at high temperatures, improved fatigue life under repeated loading, and better aging resistance. It is specifically formulated for premium infrastructure projects requiring long-term durability under heavy traffic conditions.
